The sound of the (mighty) KLR 650 starting up is inspiring. I put 33,000 miles on one myself.

Ever has a situation where you have needed the mace?

Meacaon August 28, 2018 at 4:20 pm

My trip to India went slightly… differently. I flew there, bought a Bullet. Drove through Delhi to find parts (dirt cheap), a helmet (dirt cheap), tools (dirt cheap) and a map (yes, one made of paper, oh it was dirt cheap) and drove of into the Himalayas… Your way is slightly more, organized!

anand chandranon August 28, 2018 at 4:20 pm

Hey Alex, where did you get the Schubert E1 from. Can you recommend me for the cheaper one. Thanks. Btw this video was so informative. Loved it.

FULLCIPHERon August 28, 2018 at 4:21 pm

my wife delivered a burger with a fried egg on top for me to eat as i caught up with your latest vids.

Frankon August 28, 2018 at 4:22 pm

Fun video! A laughed when you pitched bringing a helmet – who on earth would be so stupid going on an adventure trip on a motorcycle without one?

John Wickon August 28, 2018 at 4:23 pm

Bin the slime, get a Tyre plug kit instead some much better and quicker also les messy when changing tyres

BikerOfAmsterdamon August 28, 2018 at 4:24 pm

Super video 😛

Albert Tranon August 28, 2018 at 4:25 pm

Wear rigid offroad boots if you’re offroading a lot

Inspecktor Fon August 28, 2018 at 4:25 pm

Alloy or spock wheels?

stephen Mon August 28, 2018 at 4:25 pm

ha ha ha ha 4 pair of gloves OMG ha ha

ladyknievalon August 28, 2018 at 4:26 pm

Yes, a tool tube does look like a pipe bomb! How did that get thru airport security, even in checked luggage? Or did you ship in a box and you flew to meet your stuff?

Prashant Pawaron August 28, 2018 at 4:26 pm

Sarath Menonon August 28, 2018 at 4:42 pm

Alex to TSA agent: "Officer, I know this looks like a pipe bomb, but I swear it’s something to carry tools in"

casualon August 28, 2018 at 4:42 pm

Hi Alex, I have not bought a motorcycle yet but I will be soon. But, I really do not know what to buy a sport,cruiser, adventure? I really would love to have a bike to do everything, having long trips, nice looking not too big and old, fast.I am in my 20’s so you may know what i feel. What bike do you recommend for me? Ihave saved 6k.

lonestarrideron August 28, 2018 at 4:44 pm

Fantastic! Great info! I would not have thought of some of that stuff to take!

Great video! Id love to take my KLR out for a round the world trip some day! <3

recom273on August 28, 2018 at 4:54 pm

Who makes the jacket and pants. They look nice.

NMBE 650on August 28, 2018 at 4:55 pm

Hey Alex. I’m Wondering what your opinion is of the Tube Tire Sealant? Obviously you wouldn’t take it if it didn’t work but how well does it work? Thanks. I’m really enjoying your South American vlogs.

What kind of helmet do you wear ? the link for helmet is "Page Not Found", thanks …

Matt Wooleson August 28, 2018 at 5:03 pm

Alex, what software do you use to edit your clips to make your YouTube videos? By the way….great stuff you’re doing

Sergiu Nisteaon August 28, 2018 at 5:06 pm

take care on your trip. please tell us about the weight because if you go offroad or on hard roads, weight is the most important thing and some of that stuff its just useless things you carry.

Jared Antonioon August 28, 2018 at 5:08 pm

Can you take all these on an airplane?

Kevin Heimbouchon August 28, 2018 at 5:09 pm

thanks Alex. you have inspired me. I was about to sell my klr

TheYowzerron August 28, 2018 at 5:09 pm

you forgot to list the fork stabilizer and the klr dash kit’s purchase locations man…oh and love your video’s man…keep it up 🙂

zorkon August 28, 2018 at 5:10 pm

Seems to me you’re taking loads of luxuries. Regarding oil filters and chains: I presume you aren’t taking gallons of oil so I’d just buy filters when you buy your oil and do it where KLRs can be serviced. I think you don’t need spare chains you just need a repair kit For breaking/joining kit in case the chain breaks. When it needs replacing I’d call in to a bike workshop and get it done. I’d say Tip number one is only take what you need in order to keep the bike weight down.
